It's more a "If a company doesn't comply with a coutry's regulations then it can't operate in that country" thing and not a joke.

For example Twitter when it was blocked in Brazil for a little while because they didn't want to pay a fine for not complying with some of their regulations.

I'm still working on this one

I've gotten a lot better at it but damn do I have room for improvement (I need to dodge "nap mode" more often IMO)

I'd say I'm about 60% successful at it currently

The ability to start and finish a task is pretty cool

The ability walk out of a room to grab something and remember what I was planning to grab is also pretty cool

I feel fucking seen by this post

It rings right to my core

It really is, the average time loss injury in our company is usually upwards of 30k down the drain. And just an accident can be catastrophic in terms of cost as well.

A BBQ compared to that is nothing.

Less than Truck Load

Basically if a company want to ship pallets of crap but they don't have enough to justify using their own truck

Think TForce, YRC, Oak Harbor, FedEx Freight, etc.

I suddenly feel like the crypt keeper

With a large enough workplace in the wrong industries it's really easy to have something that could count against it.

I work in the LTL freight industry, we get quite a few.

I work in the LTL freight industry, if we go 30 days without an accident or an injury we get a free BBQ day with unlimited food for everyone. We're talking burgers, hotdogs, chilli, chowder, chips, drinks, etc. Sometimes they even do catering. Our last one they did Hawaiian Food for 2 days (they got too much) which definitely made everyone happy.

I've been there for almost 10 years, we average about 2 per year.

Edit to clarify: 2 BBQs per year. We're really good as getting hurt.

As the DM I couldn't be happier.

They basically sold samples of 4 different strains of a gnarly zombie virus, the lab used to make them, and all the notes the crazed wizard used to make them. And 1 of the party members almost died because of one of the diseases on the way back to town because he was out of spell slots, the disease kept lowering his CON stat, and part of the sickness was preventing him from getting the benefits of a long rest.
